But even so, Hiddink really made up his mind to straighten Zhang Bin until the beginning of 2018, and even so, it was still questioned by many media and fans, after all, for the goalkeeper position, experience is too important, fortunately, Zhang Bin performed well in several warm-up games before the World Cup, and everyone was a little relieved. However, the World Cup is different from the warm-up game after all, and until the opening of the 2018 World Cup, there are still many domestic media and fans who are worried about the goalkeeper position.

Speaking of which, this has a lot to do with Zhang Bin still playing in China so far, although now and the domestic club teams are basically equipped with five major league-level coaching teams, and the league level is also rising, and it has become the undisputed No. 1 football league in Asia.

In fact, in the winter transfer period in early 2018, there were also European teams that expressed interest in Zhang Bin, but Hiddink believes that Zhang Bin staying in China is more convenient to participate in the national football training camp, which will help cultivate tacit understanding in the backline, and after appearing in the World Cup, the fame will be much greater than now, and there will be more and better options to play in Europe at that time. Out of trust in this mentor, Zhang Bin temporarily shelved his plan to stay abroad, but the excessive value marked by the club for him was also an important reason why he failed to make the trip

Hiddink attaches great importance to the Chinese team's defense, but he also knows that the most powerful weapon of the Chinese team has always been her world-class offensive line, in order to maximize this advantage, Hiddink not only continued to use the thunderous front four, but also made major adjustments to the Chinese team's offensive strategy.

"You mean. Everything revolves around me? Gao Jun was very surprised when he first heard Hiddink say such an idea, because at present, the Chinese team has four outstanding players in the front court who can be called outstanding even in the world.

"The star tactics don't mean don't cooperate, just take you as the absolute core and let the whole team serve you. But it's not that you just rely on your personal ability to break through the opponent's defense! Hiddink laughs as he explains, "While the overall style of play is more highly respected, if there are superstars who can take on the big role, the use of star tactics can also be huge. Didn't Argentina revolve around Messi in the last World Cup? In the end, Argentina made it all the way to the final and almost won the World Cup, which is enough to prove that the star tactics are not completely impossible. Your strength is stronger than Messi, and the overall strength of the Chinese team is not as good as the Argentine team, so why can't the Chinese team play around you? ”

Seeing Gao Jun fall into deep thought. Hiddink immediately hit the railroad while it was hot, "With your strength and tacit understanding with each other, using the overall style of play can indeed lead to the strongest offensive firepower, as evidenced by those amazing victories in the 2010 World Cup." However, adopting a holistic approach means that the outcome of the game depends on the performance of multiple players, which will improve the stability of the average team. But not for the Chinese team, because even Xie Wenjun and Gao Lin. None of them have the ability to take advantage of their opportunities, and the gap is not small, and more importantly, although their skills are excellent, they don't have the mental quality to play well in the more crucial tournaments and stronger opponents are like you."

At this time, Gao Jun finally realized Hiddink's true intentions, and it turned out that he took into account the weakness of the psychological quality deviation of most Chinese players. I want to reduce the pressure on the whole team by focusing the pressure on Gao Jun alone. This is naturally a severe test for Gao Jun, but wasn't that what he did when he was in the youth team? What's so scary about that?

"After Rong Hao withdrew from the national team, the ability of the national football team to resist pressure has indeed decreased a lot, although Xiao Xie and Xiao Wu are already very good players, they are still slightly lacking in psychology. I should share more, and I have the ability to share more", Gao Jun finally figured it out completely, and immediately accepted Hiddink's arrangement.

There is another very important reason why Hiddink wants to play star tactics, that is, the current situation of Chinese football has gradually begun to be young, resulting in the uneven quality of the players on the field of the national football team, and the gap in strength between the players has widened significantly. In this case, the probability of problems in those weaknesses in the national football team is much greater than that of Gao Jun, the strongest point, and the overall style of play may not be much better than the star tactics.

Under the star tactics, as long as Gao Jun, the core of the field, is not stared at, then the Chinese team will always have hope of victory. And now Gao Jun has reached the peak of his career in all aspects, especially his ability to break through with the ball, after years of hard work, he has finally reached a very high level, and the success rate of one-on-one has reached the world-class level, plus the frontcourt teammates who are also stronger than four years ago, as long as he no longer suffers the bad luck of attrition before the last World Cup, no opponent can prevent him from death. To Hiddink's relief, the Chinese team was lucky this time, and none of the eight most important players in the team were absent, which made him full of confidence that he had overfulfilled his task

The 2018 World Cup has not yet opened, the host's advantage is already looming, compared with several other Asian teams, the Chinese team's grouping can be said to be too good to be better, two recognized weak teams in the same group almost ensure that the Chinese team has no worries about qualifying, and with the German team that has won two consecutive World Cups, it is even more miraculous.

On the one hand, being in a group with the top favorite Germany can strengthen the strength of the Chinese team's group opponents on the surface and reduce the pressure of public opinion, and at the same time, because there are two qualifying places, it will not affect the Chinese team's promotion; On the other hand, a group with Germany in the group stage can ensure that they will not meet again until the final after qualifying from the group, so as to prevent the Chinese team from meeting the most frightened German team too early and going out of the tournament as in the 2010 World Cup. Moreover, the match between the Chinese team and the German team is the third game of the group stage, and it is likely that both teams have already qualified in advance at the beginning of the game, in this case, the Chinese team can put out a substitute lineup, which not only saves physical strength, but also minimizes the impact of the loss on morale

As for the problem that qualifying as the second in the group will lead to the Chinese team encountering strong opponents after qualifying, because in addition to the German team, other traditional strong teams may not be able to enter the state early in the group stage, and there will often be only the second place in the group to qualify, so the Chinese team is not safe even if it is the first in the group, not to mention that the Chinese team has taken into account the situation after the start of the knockout round when it is grouped, and the most frightened teams will not be encountered in the eighths of the finals, as long as the Chinese team can play normally, It shouldn't be too difficult to reach the quarterfinals.

Although some domestic media and fans were still somewhat worried before the game because the last World Cup did not play well, after the opening of the World Cup, everyone quickly put their hanging hearts back into their stomachs. After a comfortable 2-0 win over New Zealand in the opening match, China won the second group game 4-1 and qualified ahead of schedule with Germany, who also won consecutive victories. What reassures those old Chinese fans is that the national football team in the first two games played unprecedentedly calm, and every time they led by two goals, they would take the initiative to slow down the pace of the game, although this caused some fans to complain that the Chinese team "lost its passion", but in the eyes of these old fans, it is just a sign of the maturity of the national football team.

The reason why the German team dares to spare no hands in every game is partly because they value the whole, and on the other hand, because the German team has a very strong bench lineup, so even if the main players are injured, the impact will not be great. And even if the Chinese team can play well as a whole, the weakness of the substitute lineup cannot be overcome. Therefore, in a sense, it is almost natural that the Chinese team suffered serious injury problems in the last World Cup, and it can even be said that the Chinese team has only encountered such a situation in their third World Cup is very lucky.

In addition, the German team is recognized as a traditional powerhouse in world football, and their habit of not sympathizing with the weak has long been known, so it is not too embarrassing to be beaten by them, and few teams will be resentful because of this. China, on the other hand, is an emerging team, and if they are as unforgiving as the German team, it is easy to provoke their opponents and increase the risk of injury to their players, even if they are lucky enough not to be injured, the physical exertion will increase. After three World Cups, the current Chinese internationals are fully aware of the intensive schedule of the World Cup, and if they want to go far, they must avoid unnecessary injuries and physical exertion and play smarter

Although the Chinese team has learned to close the kick after a two-goal lead, the offensive efficiency of the two six-goal games is still among the best among the 32 World Cup participating teams, and what is even more remarkable is that Gao Jun alone has three of the six goals, and also contributed two direct assists. As a result, the head coaches of each team quickly gave birth to ideas such as "As long as Gao Jun is stared at, the Chinese team has nothing to fear." "Such an idea, but how can the current Gao Jun be so easy to stare at to death? (To be continued......)
